Chapter 21: Too Angry! This Emperor is Too Bad to Let Me Do It
Hear her words.
Jiang Chen naturally would not refuse.
Instead, he changed into court robes.
It is said to be court dress.
But the difference between it and what Jiang Chen usually wears is not that big.
At most, the gold thread is a little finer and denser.
Put on court clothes.
Jiang Chen went directly to the palace where the emperor lived.
The emperor just stood up.
Wearing a dragon robe, served by a group of palace maids.
Su Dingxia still stood at the door .
It seemed as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Chen stepped forward.
He bowed to Su Dingxia.
"Good morning, Eunuch Su."
At this time, Su Dingxia raised his eyelids slightly.
He gave Jiang Chen a cold look.
"Good morning, Eunuch Jiang."
Eunuch Jiang nodded and stood behind Su Dingxia.
The emperor was washing at this time.
Su Dingxia glanced at the sky.
Suddenly spoke out.
"Eunuch Jiang, please be careful with your words and actions later."
"The Queen Mother cares for the Emperor."
"I will also inquire about matters related to the government."
"Someone will come over later and help us to wait on the emperor during the morning court session."
Jiang Chen was stunned, then whispered.
"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for your guidance."
did not think of.
Su Dingxia looked cold-tempered.
But in fact, he cares about his servants.
Not long after, when the emperor was about to come out.
A middle-aged eunuch came around the corner, twirling a whisk.
Maybe he has been a eunuch for too long.
His demeanor and movements were somewhat feminine.
His face was covered with white powder, and his aged face looked a little greasy.
He twisted his body and walked in front of them.
See him.
Su Dingxia immediately bowed and saluted.
"Greetings to Eunuch Li, good morning!"
This eunuch Li is a popular figure around the current empress dowager.
It was the chief eunuch Li Xianglian.
He is the Queen Mother's confidant.
He has been supporting the Queen Mother from an ordinary concubine to become the current champion of palace fighting.
His methods are amazing, needless to say.
Therefore.
Su Dingxia would remind Jiang Chen to be careful with his words and actions.
And Jiang Chen saw Su Dingxia like this.
He also bowed very respectfully.
Li Xianglian flicked her whisk.
He looked very arrogant.
"Get up, Xiazi."
"Why are you being polite?"
Su Dingxia looked indifferent.
He slowly straightened up.
Walking to Jiang Chen's side, Su Dingxia lifted his chin with a whisk.
“Tsk tsk.”
"This little eunuch is so handsome!"
"No wonder he caught the Queen Mother's eye!"
Jiang Chen's chin was lifted up, and he didn't want to look at the old eunuch.
I could only whisper.
"Jiang Chen is honored to be appreciated by the Queen Mother!"
Li Xianglian released his jaw.
"That's good to know!"
After scolding the two of them one by one, Li Xianglian stood in front of Su Dingxia.
His expression was natural, without any sign of restraint.
He glared fiercely at Li Xianglian's back.
Jiang Chen had no expression on his face.
Damn it, I will kill you sooner or later!
Finally, after three people had been waiting.
The emperor walked out of the palace.
When they saw him, the three of them knelt down in unison.
"Greetings to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good fortune!"
The emperor's face was still pale.
It is still dark in color.
Looks tired.
It seemed like he hadn't gotten a good night's rest.
Because of fatigue, his mental state was not very good.
See the three people bow.
He just nodded slightly.
Said casually.
"Get up!"
The three of them stood up immediately.
Then he went to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.
Arrived at the main hall.
I saw the civil and military officials standing in two directions.
They were all dressed in court robes and were quiet and solemn.
The moment the emperor appeared.
They all knelt down and saluted.
"Long live the emperor!"
Shouted three times in a row.
The loud voice echoed throughout the hall.
Jiang Chen looked at this magnificent scene.
I can't help but get my blood boiling.
He wished he could kick the emperor down and sit on the throne himself to satisfy his desire.
But he didn't dare do that.
At least not now.
The emperor waved his hand.
All the ministers stood up immediately.
Su Dingxia stepped forward and said loudly.
"If you have something to say, come to court. If not, leave court!"
at this time.
Jiang Haiping, the leader of the Iron Shirt Generals, stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The emperor raised his eyes, looking unhappy.
"What do you want to say?"
Jiang Haiping bowed.
Said loudly.
"I and your servants will go with Eunuch Jiang to search the house."
"Eunuch Jiang's words and actions were very appropriate. The royal family's dignity shocked us."
"In front of Eunuch Jiang, Que Xinyan and his gang of villains confessed their crimes and accepted the punishment!"
"They all knelt down and repented!"
When the emperor heard Jiang Haiping's words, a hint of joy flashed across his face.
"Oh? Are you serious?"
"Is Jiang Chen really promoting the style of our Heavenly Family this time?"
As soon as the words fell.
Minister of Rites Liu Ping and Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Xuan stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, what General Jiang said is true."
"Eunuch Jiang is selfless and his words and deeds really make us admire him!"
The emperor turned his head.
Said to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, you did a great job on this!"
Jiang Chen looked at the emperor's expression.
Bending down and showing courtesy.
"emperor."
"Lord Liu Ping, the Minister of Rites; Lord Zhou Xuan, the Vice Minister of Revenue; Lord Jiang Haiping, the leader of the Iron Shirt Generals."
"During the investigation process, he was also vigorous and resolute, and made decisive decisions."
“Even when facing my former colleagues, I remain selfless.”
"This official style really shows the style of our Xia country!"
These people sang and harmonized with each other.
The other ministers couldn't help but sneer.
He said with great disdain in his heart.
"Such a big show, as if no one has ever robbed a house before!"
However, the emperor was very happy with the unanimous opinions of these people.
Immediately, the three were promoted to the highest rank.
The three of them immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
Since Jiang Chen could not be promoted, he was rewarded with one thousand taels of gold.
If it were before, Jiang Chen would have been extremely happy to receive one thousand taels of gold.
But he experienced a house raid.
Then you will realize how insignificant this is.
Que Xinyan was right in one thing he said.
The greediest person in the Xia Kingdom is indeed the emperor!
Let’s put this matter behind us.
An old minister stepped forward.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and had some impression of this old minister .
This old minister is a veteran of three dynasties.
His words carry great weight.
But he is also devoted to the country and upright.
The opinions and ideas he put forward often gave the emperor and the empress dowager a headache.
Sure enough, this old minister stood up.
The emperor frowned slightly.
"Master Yuan, are you okay?"
I saw Master Yuan bowing to the emperor.
His body trembled like an old onion that persisted in the wind and rain.
"emperor."
"I was deeply shocked to see the flood-stricken people wandering the imperial city."
"Your Majesty, please consider the people."
The emperor just sighed.
Then he said to Yuan Taifu.
"In that case, I understand."
"Then use the confiscated funds to allocate two thousand taels of gold to help the victims!"
Jiang Chen’s reward was one thousand taels of gold.
There are so many disaster victims in the city.
As soon as you leave the palace, you can immediately see the miserable plight of the victims.
So many victims.
The imperial court, which the people relied on, only allocated two thousand taels of gold.
The officials forced the people to rebel.
Jiang Chen lowered his head.
His face was full of disgust.
Damn, dog emperor.
Damn, the dog queen.
Damn, what a dog official!
"Your Majesty, there are so many victims!"
"Two thousand taels of gold may not be enough!"
